I mean, it would have been nice if the game had been finished when it came out.....
But hey, they've fixed nearly every problem I had with the game on launch. Which is infinitely more than most of the companies who release shitty broken games.

Most people are too lazy or stupid to take the initiative though
Full stop, go fuck yourself.
Being a first time, or even just smaller developer is a nightmare when you compare it against large companies.
You basically don't have a chance if you try to carry your dream yourself, because you lack funding. But getting in bed with larger companies for funding and marketing puts an insane amount of pressure to perform well or go under.
I can totally understand why so many things were over-promised. I can't excuse what we got on release, but I do understand why he lied, even in the weeks leading up to release where everyone who plays immediately knows what's bullshit.
And to be honest, I would likely do the same in some situations.
Like the multi-player aspect where supposedly you would be able to see each other in-game. They really thought with the size of the procedural generation it would take a lot longer for people to meet, even if they were trying to meet up. Unfortunately they forgot to take statistics and probability into account. With the large amounts of people playing, two were bound to end up close enough to meet in the finest few days.
I think they really thought they'd have time to fix it before anyone met.
You'll say anything when it's your future, and the futures of all the people you work with, on the line.
The best time to fix your game is before you fucking release it
The second best time is right now.
They may have ignored the first half, but when they screwed up they tucked tail and got to work.
Nobody in their right mind would say they've been given a pass for NMS because they have been improving it, especially when you consider the straight up LIES Sean told during interviews. Whether it's because his expectations were too high for the engine and dev team, incompetence and inflated self-image, or he was trying to build hype for the game knowing they could never fulfill all their promises, it doesn't matter.
They improved what they made, but they still haven't delivered what they promised for months leading up to release.
It's a mixed bag. You take the bag with the good.
NMS is worth playing for the 0 dollars I spent on it, and I could see myself tossing upto $20 for it, but at no point was it worth a full price game IMO.
Fun fact! To make a super duper effective cleaning solution, all you have to do is mix ammonia and bleach! Make sure you do it in a small enclosed, dark room in order to ensure the solution binds together properly.
Big Cleaning doesn't want you to know this because it cuts into their profits when people realize everyday chemicals can be combined to make better soaps and sprays than they sell.
My 4 month old laptop has hdmi on the back, ethernet on the left, four usb 3.whatever slots with two on each side, two USB c slots on the right side, and a microsd slot.
I think it even has a 3.5mm headset jack but I'd have to get out of bed to check. I don't have any peripherals that use 3.5mm anymore though so it's just a nice little bonus.
Idk how hard water coding is, but I imagine it's hard since good looking water seems rare.
That is some damn fine looking water
Excellent shots.
It's the same society that just elected a fascist dictator-wannabe. No matter how many intelligent people you know, there's enough to do that.
Maybe warning labels were a mistake...
You joke, buuuuuuut https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2013/12/launch-code-for-us-nukes-was-00000000-for-20-years/
The USAF has denied this, multiple times.
I do not believe them.
Mainly because I know how people were during the cold war and have no doubt in my mind that the thought process was "nobody will ever access this without a reason, so let's make it super quick and easy or we might be radioactive slag before we finish typing"
The mere fact that it's believable is a problem.
And even if you DO post in small communities, half the time it's a toss-up as to whether anyone will see it.
I'm not sure about lemmy, but reddit was roughly 50% US users, so it was a good bet that if you timed posts for "early morning" US browsing or "after work" EU browsing, your post would do well.
Idk lemmy's demographic breakdown, but it seems more generalized (imagine that, a diverse fediverse!) around the world, so it's hard for me to tell when the most users will be active.
I haven't watched fallout yet, just because I haven't been in a "fallout" mood since the show dropped, so my only experience with video game shows is Halo.
And I literally couldn't finish a single episode.
So as long as nobody grabs a shovel, at the very least they can only trip over the bar. It's as low as can be.
Commenters are the worst.
Especially the ones that have custom profiles with names and shit.
